        The LAPD did one recently on a medical imaging office because apparently it’s suspicious that an office full of XRAY and MRI machines uses a lot of power.

          Is that the one where the idiot cop got his gun stuck in the MRI and hit the emergency button to shut it down?

                The first officer retrieved his rifle and left the scanner room “leaving behind a magazine filled with bullets on the office floor.”

                Nice when they refill the MRI and need to quench it again.

                  Unless he was using steel case rounds, most ammunition isn’t magnetic, it wasn’t going to cause issues with the machine… he’s still a fucking idiot though.

                    An MRI works at 3T to 7T. At that range oxygen is slightly magnetic (Everything is magnetic, just not ferromagnetic). This can cause damage to the machine if it misaligned a critical component.

        My favorite is the cop baiters. It’s illegal to use IR to identify grow houses in whatever state they operate in, so they aluminum foil the heck out of a house and crank the heat so it stands out. When the police come in based off a nonexistent anonymous tip, they’re basically caught breaking the law red handed.

        Can’t find the video but I’ll keep looking.

        Edit: https://youtu.be/uunOZexpHEI

        I’ve seen that they also called in an anonymous tip about the house, which in itself is not enough for a warrant but the cops raided anyway.

          Do you mean Barry Cooper with KopBusters?

          Formerly a police officer in Texas, Cooper is best known for KopBusters, a series of online videos in which he attempts to document police misconduct, and Never Get Busted Again, a series of videos aimed at teaching citizens how to evade false arrest by the police.

          You probably meant this Video about it that went viral.

          This seems like a terrible idea. Even if you’re not committing any crime why would you want cops to pay attention to you?

        The big crime here is that the police don’t arrest everyone in the house and do a full team photo-op in front of the racks before they demolish the property.

      The author is German, and cannabis is currently decriminalized in Germany. Not saying there’s zero reason to have a clandestine growing operation, but the need isn’t as pressing as it usually is.

        Cannabis being decriminalized does not mean there aren’t huge grow ops still. Most people who smoke cannot or don’t want to grow their own.

Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

Rules
  1. 😇 Be Nice!

    • Treat others with respect and dignity. Friendly banter is okay, as long as it is mutual; keyword: friendly.
  2. 🏘️ Community Standards

    • Comics should be a full story, from start to finish, in one post.
    • Posts should be safe and enjoyable by the majority of community members, both here on lemmy.world and other instances.
    • Any comic that would qualify as raunchy, lewd, or otherwise draw unwanted attention by nosy coworkers, spouses, or family members should be tagged as NSFW.
    • Moderators have final say on what and what does not qualify as appropriate. Use common sense, and if need be, err on the side of caution.
  3. 🧬 Keep it Real

    • Comics should be made and posted by real human beans, not by automated means like bots or AI. This is not the community for that sort of thing.
  4. 📽️ Credit Where Credit is Due

    • Comics should include the original attribution to the artist(s) involved, and be unmodified. Bonus points if you include a link back to their website. When in doubt, use a reverse image search to try to find the original version. Repeat offenders will have their posts removed, be temporarily banned from posting, or if all else fails, be permanently banned from posting.
    • Attributions include, but are not limited to, watermarks, links, or other text or imagery that artists add to their comics to use for identification purposes. If you find a comic without any such markings, it would be a good idea to see if you can find an original version. If one cannot be found, say so and ask the community for help!
  5. 📋 Post Formatting

    • Post an image, gallery, or link to a specific comic hosted on another site; e.g., the author’s website.
    • Meta posts about the community should be tagged with [Meta] either at the beginning or the end of the post title.
    • When linking to a comic hosted on another site, ensure the link is to the comic itself and not just to the website; e.g.,
      ✅ Correct: https://xkcd.com/386/
      ❌ Incorrect: https://xkcd.com/
  6. 📬 Post Frequency/SPAM

    • Each user (regardless of instance) may post up to five (5 🖐) comics a day. This can be any combination of personal comics you have written yourself, or other author’s comics. Any comics exceeding five (5 🖐) will be removed.
  7. 🏴‍☠️ Internationalization (i18n)

    • Non-English posts are welcome. Please tag the post title with the original language, and include an English translation in the body of the post; e.g.,
      Sí, por favor [Spanish/Español]
  8. 🍿 Moderation

    • We are human, just like most everybody else on Lemmy. If you feel a moderation decision was made in error, you are welcome to reach out to anybody on the moderation team for clarification. Keep in mind that moderation decisions may be final.
    • When reporting posts and/or comments, quote which rule is being broken, and why you feel it broke the rules.
Web Accessibility

Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.

When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you’re posting:

  • Markdown - Links / Images

Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what’s going on. (example)
